Choose Your Top Three Sessions

Because of the popularity of summer camp, we can’t always guarantee you’ll get into your number one choice session. Choose your top three based on your girl’s age, interests, and schedule. We are happy to recommend alternative sessions if you aren’t sure.

Log In to Ebiz Ahead of Time

Set yourself up for success by logging into our event registration system – ebiz – a week before camp registration opens. That way, you can ensure you’ve got your password on lockdown and that all your profile information is correct.

Things to check for:

Your contact information (including your email and mailing address) are up to date.

Your girl’s membership is showing as active for 2018-2019.

If you’ve never logged into ebiz before, contact us ahead of time so we can get you set up in the system.

Online Registration is Recommended

Online registration is recommended and is the best way to ensure your spot. If you would like to register a girl who isn’t in your household (like a girl in your troop or friend of your girl’s), please give us a call (this option is not available online). You will be required to pay the deposit; instructions on completing payment will be sent to the parent/guardian of the girl registered.

Schedule Around Troop Camp

Check with your troop to see if they’re planning on attending Troop Camp this summer. If so, make sure your Resident Camp or Edith Mayo Day Camp session isn’t at the same time as the Troop Camp session they may be planning to attend.

Note: Troop Camp is different from Resident Camp! You attend Troop Camp with, you guessed it, your troop and volunteers.

Troop Leaders Cannot Register Non-Relatives Online

Unfortunately, this functionality is not available online. Unlike program events and troop camps, troop leaders are unable to register anyone other than their own girl for resident camp online. We strongly encourage parents/guardians to be the ones to register their girls for resident camp.

Troop leaders wishing to register someone other than their own girl for resident camp will need to complete registration over the phone at 800-845-0787. You will be required to pay the deposit; instructions on completing payment will be sent to the parent/guardian of the girl registered.

Members From Other Councils Can Register

Girl Scout River Valleys camps and events are open to all Girl Scout members, including those from other councils. Members from other councils will need to register by phone at 800-845-0787 or by paper (available upon request).

We have Cookie Credit reciprocity with many sister councils but are unable to offer any financial assistance to members coming from other councils to our events or camps.

We Do Not Have a Waitlist

Girl Scouts River Valleys does not have wait lists for camp or event sessions. Once the session capacity has been reached, we are unable to add any additional participants.

If a full session has a cancellation prior to the registration deadline, the spot will open back up online and is available on a first come, first served basis.

Need help picking an alternative session? We are happy to help you choose a session based on your girl’s age, interest, and schedule.

Confirm Memberships

Confirm that all of the girls in your troop are registered for the 2018-2019 year and that any of the adults who are planning to chaperone are registered for the 2018-2019 year and have an eligible background check. To see a current roster of who is registered with your troop, log in to My GS and click on the “Troop” tab.

Log in to Ebiz Ahead of Time

Log in to your eBiz (our event registration system) account at least a week before registration day (February 20, 2019). This way, you can make sure that your password and profile information are correct, and that all of the girls in your troop are appearing on your roster. Note that our event registration system – eBiz – is different from our membership registration system—My GS. If you notice any inconsistencies or any changes that need to be made, make sure give us a call at 800-845-0787 right away!

Online Registration is Recommended

Online registration is recommended and is the best way to ensure your spot. Paper registration forms will be processed beginning March 5 alongside phone registrations.

Register By Phone if Requesting Financial Assistance

Participants who would like to request financial assistance to help pay for the cost of troop camp will need to register for the camp session by phone at 800-845-0787 with a $25 deposit (this option is not available online). Families can then request assistance paying the remaining balance by submitting an online form at GirlScoutsRV.org/Financial-Assistance.

Only Troop Leaders & Guardians Can Register Girls

Troop leaders are the only volunteers that have access to the troop roster in the event registration system. They will have the capacity to register girls and other adults for troop camp online. Parents/guardians are able to register themselves and their girl for troop camp. Anyone holding a volunteer role other than the troop leader will not be able to register troop members other than themselves and their own girl online and would need to register these members by phone at 800-845-0787.

Know How Many Chaperones Should Register

To ensure that supervision requirements are met, troop camps have girl-to-adult ratios. The table below shows how many adults must be registered for troop camp in relation to the number of girls registered. Please only send the required number of adult chaperones—not more or less.

*Chaperones are required to have a current Girl Scout membership and an eligible background check. At least two adults must be unrelated.

Coordinate Schedules

Girls in your troop may be registered for resident camp. Check with your troop, and be sure to coordinate schedules with the other girls and troop leaders to ensure that your troop camp session of choice isn’t on the same day(s) as your resident camp session(s).
